Why The Mini?

As our customers reached for smaller bags and lighter travel gear, one request kept coming through loud and clear: “Can you make your umbrella even smaller?”

So, we listened. The result is The Mini - our most compact design ever. A genuinely pocket-sized umbrella that proves you no longer have to choose between style and function.

At just 21 cm (8.3 inches) long and 280 g (9.87 oz), The Mini is light as air, yet strong enough to weather any storm. It’s the small umbrella with a big purpose - to simplify life without compromising on beauty, performance, or sustainability.

 


Why We Created It: Small Umbrella, Big Mission

We designed The Mini to meet the needs of modern life - where space matters, style is personal, and sustainability is essential.

City commuters, weekend travellers, and minimalists alike told us they wanted an umbrella that fits everywhere - from coat pockets to crossbody bags - without sacrificing strength or coverage.

So we engineered The Mini with:

 

  • A high-strength, wind-resistant steel frame for durability

  • A PFAS-free waterproof coating for cleaner rain protection

  • A r.PET canopy made from six post-consumer recycled plastic bottles

  • Full coverage when open - despite its tiny, handbag-friendly size

 

This isn’t just our smallest umbrella yet - it’s our smartest.

 

Why You Need It: Autumn’s Everyday Essential

As Autumn rolls in, so does the rain. The Mini was made for this season - compact enough to carry everywhere, strong enough to keep you dry, and beautiful enough to feel like a luxury accessory.

Whether you’re walking to work, running to catch a train, or packing light for a weekend away, The Mini makes being prepared effortless. It’s the kind of everyday essential that earns a permanent spot in your bag - because it’s there when you need it, invisible when you don’t.

And as the gifting season approaches, it’s the perfect present: stylish, sustainable, and universally useful.
